BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — The Broome County Council of Churches will use $150,000 in federal funding for construction of a food market on the north side of Binghamton.
It’s a “community that has been designated as a food desert,” the office of U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said.
The Broome County money is part of nearly $300,000 awarded through the Appalachian Regional Commission, Gillibrand and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) announced last week.
